Who removes the machines and who pays?
The buyer appoints and pays a machinery mover or rigger. They bring lifting gear, skates and transport, and they take the machine from where it stands to their lorry. Your side is to have it disconnected and drained, and to give access for the vehicle. Our staff attend during collection to release lots against paid invoices.
